Turkoman 151 x 87 cm

£520.00

Turkoman rug from Khorassan, NE Persia. A very fine rug with a mixture of Turkomen (see the borders) and Belouch (field of the rug) elements. This kind of hybrid is not too unusual; the two tribal groups both reside in Khorassan and marriages between the members of different tribal groups do take place. Different tribal motifs would be appreciated by both groups and would sometimes travel, mutate and develop. Hand spun wool in pile and goat hair selvedges.
